Abstract In his study on angelomorphic traditions in early Christian pneumatology, Bogdan Bucur suggests that Origen is both indebted to and develops upon Clement of Alexandria’s pneumatology. This article takes up Bucur’s claim, offering the first examination of Origen’s pneumatology in light of previous research on early Christian angelomorphic traditions. It argues that Origen interprets the traditional understanding of the Holy Spirit as one and seven in terms of a philosophical notion of power, allowing him to explain how the one Holy Spirit can distribute many different gifts.

In this article, the author examines the misuse of the idea of holistic education. Western culture-and not just science and technology, but finance, politics, arts, crafts, and professions too-is not built on holistic insight or understanding, but on analytic thinking. Therefore, logically, successful teaching in all of the above must be created on the basis of analysis.
